Personal choice, but that sling with all of that ammo at the forend looks like a detriment to muzzle control. Swinging weight at the business end wouldn't seem prudent although there is some recoil mitigation benefit.

Tactically you might look at side-saddle carry since the ammo is adjacent to the feed and you don't have to be grabbing for the pendulum to get a reload.

As always tactical choices are very personal.

P.S. Surefire makes a very nice forend replacement with the light and both on/off and momentary switches under your natural grip fingertips.

Nice picture of the Mossberg Brigid, whatever feel's right and work's for you is fine by me. I've put a lot of round's downrange with the 500A and 590-A1, like both but prefer the 590-A1. Though I'm most partial to the Remington 870 I am also very comfortable with the above mentionted Mossberg's. If I ever have the pleasure to shoot with you I'll let you run some different set up's.

I urge you to give up that sling/ammo carry setup. It will get you in trouble. You will lose control of the shotgun. Rig a carry system full of shells and keep it with your shotgun. Sling the bag, belt, etc., of shotgun shells over your shoulder. See the end of "The Wild Bunch" where one of the bunch had a bag of shells similar to a canvas fish creel.

THAT MOVIE RULES.. ME I personally like the little sawed off leveraction rifle Wood Harrelson sports in the movie. I think I could handle a Zombie attack rather well here...lol Of course don't ask me to share my brass;)

I started this blog so the child I gave up for adoption could get to know me, and in turn, her children, as well as share stories for a family that lives too far away. So please keep it friendly, kid safe, and open to discussion, not criticism. This is my home. You can live in yours as you wish, but this is my place.

This is without a doubt, one of the most beautiful pieces of writing it has been my pleasure to read. I hope my grandkids get half of the lessons it can give. Read it, and you cant help but feel good--but you will look at life a little different.

I'm heavily into reading the book now and I've already laughed till I hurt. You have a wonderful gift lady

---------------------------

A perfect book for the thinking person who has lost a beloved pet, this brief yet densely rich memoir draws its power from the author's contemplative, insightful prose. Deeply personal but filled with universal wisdom. An instant classic of the genre. - David Whitewolf, Livermore, CA ----------------------------I know when you look at a book and see every single review is a five star review, you think there's no way it can be that good. This book is that good. Ms. Johnson writes deeply of life, love, and learning about both with a terrific teacher and companion, her Barkley. This book will make you laugh, cry, and think deeply about life and love in all it's many forms. It will also make you re-think everything you think you know about squeaky toys and white carpeting.Maureen A. Williams--------------------------------------Truly a book written with a true love for life no matter what ups and downs it might bring and the love of author and dog for each other. Share both laughter and tears with Ms Johnson as you read this book. And pick a time to read it when you can finish it in one session because you aren't going to want put it down.Dennis H. King

One Nation Under God

As Daniel Webster stated - “Let it be borne on the flag under which we rally in every exigency, that we have one country, one constitution, one destiny”. The flag is not a piece of cloth intended to be worn as a necktie, bikini or an outfit for your wiener dog. It is a sacred symbol of a nation. A representation of a promise of freedom. Freedom to life and liberty. The freedom for the law abiding citizen to protect their family and what they hold dear. Freedom to work hard and prosper and enjoy the fruits of your honest labor without fear that it will be forced from you to support the degradation of the Constitution. The flag is more than fabric, it's a promise. I am an American, and I will honor the flag, wrapping myself around it as a patriot would, to protect it, not wrapping it around words or actions to justify that which we know to be a breach of this promise. - LB Johnson

Daleks, the life of the party.

Everything's shiny, Cap'n. Not to fret.

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost. - G. K. Chesterton

No future but that which we make for ourselves.

'There comes a time in the life of every human when he or she must decide to risk "his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor" on an outcome dubious. Those who fail the challenge are merely overgrown children, can never be anything else.' - Stranger in a Strange Land

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken; a light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, and crownless again shall be the King. The Lord of the Rings

Hope flew in their heartslike an eagle abovewhile they waited in silencefor friends that they love;but ghosts can't come backbearing the talesof flying home crippledas only courage prevails.

They'd traveled so farto set down their lifeleaving just memoriesamidst all the strife;as night waned on the cliffsand the sea mourned aloneAll that was leftwould be a headstone.
